Restore Your Caprice’s Electrical Functions with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Is your 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice experiencing bizarre electrical issues? Problems like flickering interior lights, power windows that won’t cooperate, a security system that acts up, or random warning lights on the dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can make your car feel unreliable and frustrating to drive. This isn’t just an annoyance; a faulty BCM can impact lighting and security systems, posing a real safety concern.
We offer a straightforward and reliable solution. This replacement BCM, compatible with part number 20935349, comes with our expert cloning service. This means we transfer all the critical data from your original module directly to this replacement unit. The result? You receive a module that is truly plug-and-play, with no need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives ready to install, pre-loaded with the latest GM software updates and your car’s unique VIN-specific information.
Is Your Caprice Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your Body Control Module is the most likely cause. Don’t let these issues go unchecked.
- âś” Power windows or door locks operating erratically or not at all.
- âś” Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- âś” The anti-theft or security system preventing the car from starting.
- âś” The key fob not responding consistently.
- âś” Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- âś” Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to BCM communication, such as U0140, B1001, or B1325.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your cloned 2011-2013 Caprice Body Control Module is a manageable task for a DIY enthusiast or any professional mechanic. Our cloning service eliminates the most complex part of the job—the programming.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work. This prevents short circuits and protects the vehicle’s sensitive electronics.
- Locate the BCM: In the 2011-2013 Caprice, the Body Control Module is typically located in the passenger compartment, often under the dashboard on the driver’s or passenger’s side. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed to be released. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New Module: Mount the new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Securely reconnect all the electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place. Reinstall any trim panels you removed.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition on and test all BCM-controlled functions: windows, locks, interior lights, wipers, and indicators to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Steps
In some cases, additional vehicle-specific relearn procedures may be needed after installation. These are simple to perform with the right tools. Our 2011-2013 Caprice Body Control Module is designed for a seamless transition, but be aware of these possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a compatible scan tool. This is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require this relearn to ensure brake lights and stability control systems function correctly.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ‘Cloning Service’?
Cloning is the process where we transfer the essential vehicle-specific data—like the VIN, security information, and other settings—from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, eliminating the need for dealer programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. For the cloning service to work, we need your original module to extract the necessary data. After the service is complete, we will ship both your original module and the newly programmed replacement back to you.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In many cases, even if the BCM is non-functional, we can still retrieve the data from the memory chip. Please contact us with the details of your situation, and our technicians can advise on the likelihood of a successful data recovery.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable job. The main challenge is typically accessing the module under the dash. Since our cloning service handles all the programming, the physical swap is all that’s required. Please refer to our installation guide above.
Will I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools like a socket set and screwdrivers are usually all that’s needed to remove the dash panels and unbolt the module. No programming tools are required. However, a professional scan tool might be needed for post-installation procedures like the airbag system sync, but only if a warning light appears.
